TARGET PEPTIDES FOR IMMUNOTHERAPY AND DIAGNOSTICS

A set of target peptides are presented by HLA A*0101, A*0201, A*0301, B*4402, B*2705, B*1402, and B*0702 on the surface of disease cells. They are envisioned to among other things (a) stimulate an immune response to the proliferative disease, e.g., cancer, (b) to function as immunotherapeutics in adoptive T cell therapy or as a vaccine, (c) facilitate antibody recognition of tumor boundaries in surgical pathology samples, (d) act as biomarkers for early detection and/or diagnosis of the disease, and (e) act as targets in the generation antibody-like molecules which recognize the target-peptide/MHC complex.

METHODS OF TREATING CANCER

Multimodal cancer immunotherapy is a combination of cancer immunotherapies used to treat cancer in patients. T cell receptor diversity is used as a component of a method to treat cancer involving cancer therapy, including multimodal cancer immunotherapy.

Vaccine nanotechnology

The present invention provides compositions and systems for delivery of nanocarriers to cells of the immune system. The invention provides vaccine nanocarriers capable of stimulating an immune response in T cells and/or in B cells, in some embodiments, comprising at least one immunomodulatory agent, and optionally comprising at least one targeting moiety and optionally at least one immunostimulatory agent. The invention provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising inventive vaccine nanocarriers. The present invention provides methods of designing, manufacturing, and using inventive vaccine nanocarriers and pharmaceutical compositions thereof. The invention provides methods of prophylaxis and/or treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions comprising administering at least one inventive vaccine nanocarrier to a subject in need thereof.

NOVEL ANTIGEN BINDING DOMAINS AND SYNTHETIC ANTIGEN RECEPTORS INCORPORATING THE SAME
20230212319 · 2023-07-06 ·

The disclosure relates to compositions and methods of generating synthetic antigen receptors or SAR (e.g., SIR, zSIR, cTCR, ab-TCRs, AABD-TCRs, TFP, TACs etc.) and antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies, DARTs etc.) comprising one or more novel antigen binding domains. SARs as described comprise single chain immune receptors (e.g., 1.sup.st, 2.sup.nd and 3.sup.rd generation chimeric antigen receptors, TFPs. Tri-TAC and the like) and multiple chain immune receptors (e.g., SIR, zSIR, cTCR. ab-TCR. AABD-TCR. αβTFP, ydTFP, recombinant TCRs etc.). SARs are able to redirect immune cell specificity and reactivity toward one or more selected targets exploiting the antigen-binding domain properties.

Pharmaceutical composition comprising a polymeric carrier cargo complex and at least one protein or peptide antigen

The present invention is directed to a pharmaceutical composition including (e.g. for use as an adjuvant) a polymeric carrier cargo complex, comprising as a carrier a polymeric carrier formed by disulfide-crosslinked cationic components; and as a cargo at least one nucleic acid molecule, and at least one antigen that is selected from an antigen from a pathogen associated with infectious disease; an antigen associated with allergy or allergic disease; an antigen associated with autoimmune disease; or an antigen associated with a cancer or tumour disease, or in each case a fragment, variant and/or derivative of said antigen. The pharmaceutical composition allows for efficient induction of an adaptive immune response directed against said antigen. The present invention furthermore provides kits, as well as the use of the pharmaceutical composition or the kit as a vaccine, particularly in the treatment of infectious diseases, allergies, autoimmune diseases and tumour or cancer diseases.

RECEPTORS PROVIDING TARGETED COSTIMULATION FOR ADOPTIVE CELL THERAPY

Some embodiments provided herein are chimeric costimulatory antigen receptor (CoStAR), useful in adoptive cell therapy (ACT), and cells comprising the CoStAR. In some embodiments, the CoStAR can act as a modulator of cellular activity enhancing responses to defined antigens. In some embodiments, CoStAR and/or fusion proteins, nucleic acids encoding the CoStAR and therapeutic uses thereof are also provided.

RNA FOR CANCER THERAPY

The present invention relates to RNA, particularly an immunostimulatory RNA (isRNA), a coding RNA or a combination thereof, for use in the treatment or prophylaxis of a disease, in particular a tumor and/or cancer disease. The present invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions, and a kit comprising the RNA(s). Further, the invention also comprises medical uses of the RNA(s) and compositions comprising the RNA(s).
